Emotional Control, Golf Clubs, and the Storm Within

What does the Ryder Cup, a 5AM dog fight, and emotional resilience have in common? This episode is raw, real, and packed with insight into one of the most critical traits for any leader: emotional control. ⚔️ Whether it's abuse from the crowd, pressure from business, or chaos at home how you respond matters. ⚔️ In this episode, I dive into what we can learn from high-pressure performers like Rory McIlroy, how to channel emotion rather than be ruled by it, and why your emotional state either builds your legacy or burns it to the ground. We’re talking: ✅ Storms in life vs. systems that carry you through ✅ Why “why me?” is a dead-end question ✅ The power of letting actions  not reactions  do the talking ✅ What your emotions are costing you without structure and awareness This one’s for the man who leads  or wants to. Listen in. Lock in. And learn how to lead through the storm. 🔗 Instagram: @jamesboardmanuk

BOUNCE-BACK-ABILITY: The True Test of a Man

This one hits hard... After stepping back onto the mats for a Jiu-Jitsu interclub tournament, I got humbled  fast. Gassed. Outclassed. Mentally caught out before the first grip. But this episode isn’t about losing. It’s about what happens after the loss. When the confidence is rocked. When the old stories creep back in. When the easy option is to back away quietly and lick your wounds... That's when you either break, or bounce. In this episode, we go deep into: The mental chatter that breaks most men before the fight even begins The importance of getting uncomfortable, again and again The cycle of Learn → Grow → Repeat that separates the weak from the winners How identity slips when you stop competing — and how to reclaim it Why every setback is a test of your mission mindset This is more than Jiu-Jitsu — it’s about the way you lead yourself through life. If you're doubting yourself, drifting, or feeling like you've lost your edge this one’s for you. 📲 Listen now. Share it with a man who needs it. 🔥 Then get to work. 🔗 instagram.com/jamesboardmanuk

DO NOT QUIT

In this episode, I take you inside the battles I’ve faced.

But I never took it. And that’s why I’m still here. This one’s raw. It’s real. And it’s for the man who's on the edge  ⚔️ The guy who feels lost in chaos. ⚔️ The man questioning if he’s built for this. ⚔️ The one convincing himself that maybe “average” will do. It won’t. In this episode, I break down: What quitting really costs you The difference between pain and suffering Why most men cave at the first sign of pressure What it takes to become the kind of man others are proud of The exact mindset I built to stay in the fight This is your line in the sand moment.

3 Big Lessons from the Summer That Changed Everything

After six weeks of travel, reflection, and wild memories  from Canada’s lakes to Ibiza dance floors ... I’m back. And this episode is a raw download of the three biggest takeaways I’ve had from one of the best summers of my life. Not surface-level. Not motivational fluff. These are the principles I’m now doubling down on as we go into the final stretch of the year: 1️⃣ Build success from home – not just in theory, but in your actual weekly structure. 2️⃣ Train every single day – because energy is the foundation of everything: business, fatherhood, leadership, life. 3️⃣ Rebuild connection – not just with loved ones, but with the world around you. It’s time to stop hiding and start living. This isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about mission. It’s about how you lead from here. Because what’s ahead is four months of execution, and you’ve got the chance to end the year on fire or let it drift away like every other one.   ⚔️ Ready to lead from the front?

Busy Fool

It’s been a powerful week running the new version of our 7-Day, 7-Mission Reset — and what’s become crystal clear is this: 👉 Most men are addicted to chaos. 👉 Most men are terrified of commitment. 👉 And most men will stay stuck for the rest of their lives because of it. In this episode, I talk honestly about what I’ve been seeing inside the Reset — the excuses, the overthinking, the resistance to change — and why so many men sabotage their potential by waiting for the “perfect time” to fix their life. Here’s the truth: ⚔️ If you're always busy, always firefighting, always overwhelmed — that’s a systems problem, not a life problem. ⚔️ If you're waiting for a calm season to work on yourself, you’ll be waiting forever. ⚔️ If you don’t get trained in how to lead your time, energy, emotions, and focus… you’ll keep burning out year after year. You don’t need more motivation. You need a mission. You need structure. You need to decide you’re DONE letting life run you. This is a raw one — give it a listen, and if it hits, share it with a man who needs it.

Why the Future Needs a Stronger You

If you had the chance to step into a time machine… Would you go back to rewrite the past? Or step into the unknown to face the future? In this episode, I talk about the one thing holding so many men back: being stuck in the past. Regret. Guilt. Old stories. They become anchors disguised as armour. But the truth is — your past isn't the problem. It's your attachment to it. ⚔️ You can't lead your life while stuck in yesterday. ⚔️ You can't become the man your mission demands if you're dragging dead weight. ⚔️ You can't build a powerful future until you shift your mindset. This episode is a rally cry to stop looking back — and start building forward. For your business. Your family. Your mission. 🎧 Listen now and make the shift.

Reckless Ambition Will Cost You Everything (Here's What to Do Instead)

In this episode, James reflects on a powerful conversation with a fellow entrepreneur – one that challenges the default chase for “more.” Too many men are chasing bigger numbers, promotions, and external success... without asking why. This podcast is a straight-talking guide to recognizing when your ambition becomes reckless, and how to reframe success around your life, not just your business. What you’ll take from this: ✅ The difference between reckless vs. controlled ambition ✅ Why “more” isn’t always the answer ✅ Real stories of men who stepped back to reclaim their family, time, and clarity ✅ Why “enough” might be the bravest thing you ever choose ✅ The truth about success, sacrifice, and default missions Whether you’re chasing the next level or considering stepping back, this is the perspective shift you didn’t know you needed. 📩 Want help realigning your ambition?

Change the Story or Stay Stuck

In today’s raw, straight-talking episode, I break down the number one thing stopping you from reaching your potential: 👉 The story you keep telling yourself. That voice that says, "My situation’s different," or "This doesn’t apply to me." It’s not time. It’s not money. It’s your ego-fuelled bullshit. I’ve seen it over and over again — men sabotaging their growth with the same tired excuses. Until you drop the ego, drop the victim card, and own your story... nothing changes. If you’re ready to stop hiding behind your own narrative and finally take control of your life, business, and mission — this one’s for you. 🎧 Listen now. 📩 DM “READY” on Instagram if you’re ready to change yours: @jamesboardman_rememberthemission
